Tips for Women when Buying Your First Home: Getting Started Kindle Edition

by Jean Chu (Author), Jayne Chu (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 18 ratings
Home Buying Tips
Getting Started for Beginners

Ladies, this guide is written for the sole purpose of turning female home shoppers, who are often single, into informed, powerful homebuyers. Education and understanding are at the heart of any large acquisition. The purchase of a house is the largest investment most of you will ever make, tying you to a location for years to come, as well as budgeting your finances. It may surprise you that unattached women constitute 20% of first-time property buyers. This number has doubled since the 1980’s and currently outpaces single men, making a similar purchase, by 2 to 1.

As with any significant buy, there is always a degree of uncertainty and stress, but also great excitement and satisfaction…if you’ve done your homework. Too many first-timer’s look back at their home-buying experience through the proverbial lenses of hindsight, sadly invoking “coulda…woulda…shoulda”. This does not need to be the case…not any more. There is a landslide of information at your fingertips, but none more streamlined for single women than this concise, informative eBook.

Writer and researcher, Jean Chu, has taken the initiative, sorting through piles of advice, data and helpful material, to bring you the gems of her labor. The guide is direct and related specifically to a woman’s needs. Face it; females have different wants and demands when it comes to home ownership. There is power in knowledge…learn to find and negotiate from a position of strength.

A short list of what you’ll master:
•Preparing – taking the first steps
•How to choose a house and neighborhood
•Finding the ‘right’ agent
•Up-to-date mortgage options and rates
•Finance options: creative and diverse…learn them all
•What can you afford
•Learn to initiate and negotiate an offer
•And much, much more…

Buy with CONFIDENCE!

Download this valuable guide today and begin your home-buying journey with the tools you’ll need to be successful. This should be a fun, joyful experience. Do it right the first time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really good read for first time home buyers especially for women

    Really good read for first time home buyers especially for women. The importance of having the right info and mindset when buying a house for women is obvious! Buying a house is a big deal especially for ladies. What stands out in a book in terms of quality is the authorship and obviously this book is an example of a good author who treats the subject well with her own experience. I'd recommend to ladies interested in learning what to look for when buying a house and the process of going thru with it.

    This book has some useful information but not a whole lot of detail. I guess it's good for the price but I will be looking for something that offers me more specific details. I also found that there were several typos and grammatical errors throughout the book. It made for a less enjoyable read. Overall not bad, but not great either.

    Men and women have different perspective when it comes to decision making, including buying a house. The author covers more than what I could think of. It is a handy book for first time female home buyers (and male home buyers too!) to learn what to look for and what to expect in each step of the process. The men can appreciate what are important to their better halves in buying a house. Very pleasant read.

    I found the information in this home buying guide to be very helpful. At some point in my reading I came across a checklist that I made a screen shot of and printed out. There's a lot of good information presented in purely condensed form in this Kindle book on how to buy a house for females. An good read and well worth the read for doing due diligence to avoid mistakes.

    I got a lot of good information. I'm more confident in making a better choice, especially in the loan choices. That is what I really needed assistance in learning more about.
    This was very helpful but I think I will read more than just this book.

    I never knew how unprepared I was until I read this book. I am glad I made this purchase because now I am on the right path to purchasing a home. It's prefect for me having no experience in home buying.The author knows what he is talking about and explains the information well.Bottom line is it gives a wonderful outline for the home buying process.
